It was a miserable wet Saturday morning at the beginning of a very hectic weekend; Santa Fun Run, Live Nativity, Christingle. Yet five families, including one for the first time, came along to All Saints to enjoy and contribute to, Messy Church. We all started with the usual breakfast and progressed to a variety of activities. The session was based around the ‘Special Message’ which Gabriel brought to Mary that she was going to have a baby who would be the Son of god.
Jan told us the story (Luke 1: 26-38) and we discussed what questions we might have asked Gabriel after such a momentous announcement. We also thought about the many different names for Jesus in the Bible, and then we sang a song before heading back out into the rain.
The next Messy Church will be at All Saints Church on Saturday 14th January 2017, 9.30-11.30 am. All are very welcome; please note that children must be accompanied by an adult. For further information see www.messychurch.org.uk, and see us on Facebook; ‘Messy Church Falmouth’.
